ACIDMAN - aka the best kept secret in the world of HOUSE DJ's! Hailing from Chicago he grew up listening to the best, spinning with the best, and now many regard him as one of the best. The word legend has been used with frequency however, Acidman believes that label should be reserved for the retired and the dead. He's played the legendary clubs past and present. In 1998 he co-created and served as the resident DJ for SHADEFREE PRDS. which instantly became one of Chicago largest rave production crews. It was this residency that catapulted Acidman from a popular local DJ to a "household name" among party goers in the Midwest and beyond. That popularity landed him top billing alongside some of the biggest names in the business Paul Johnson, Roy Davis Jr., Green Velvet, Colette and the list goes on (for those of you who care about such things.) His style? Chicago House plain and simple. Before clicking the "play" button make sure to put a helmet and fasten your safety belt because each set will take you through a wide spectrum of house flavors (classic, tech, disco, and of course acid) at a high level of intensity! All spun exclusively on two Technics 1200's the way God intended. No CD's, no Serato just pure sweet vinyl from mother natures pressing plants. By day Acidman disguises himself as a mere mortal in his alter ego "Al Brown" a humble operations manager for the family business BUT each evening as the sun sets in the west Al Brown reverts back into his true identity as ACIDMAN the super hero of house!!! Currently, Acidman is working in an underground laboratory with his best friend and production partner Tyrel Williams preparing trax for the creator of Acid House the undeniable living legend (yes legend) ADONIS preparing a doomsday assault of epic proportions! Keep an ear to the ground the "underground."
